The House Rules Committee released the terms of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, more commonly known as the farm bill, late Tuesday night. Embedded in the legislative language was a provision to squash debate on the completely unrelated resolution about the constitutionality of the U.S.’s military involvement in Yemen.

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., called out the move on Twitter, saying that it was a “trick” from Congressional leadership to avoid debate on the issue.

Does your Congressman know what’s hidden in a procedural vote on the Farm Bill today? Does he or she care? To avoid a debate on whether the US should be involved in a war in Yemen, today our leadership will trick members into suspending the provisions of the War Powers Act.

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, spearheaded the resolution at issue months ago over concerns that the U.S.’s ongoing involvement in the conflict between Saudi Arabian government forces and Yemeni rebels violates the Constitution’s rules about declaring war.

“Over the past century, Congress’s power to declare war has been willfully eroded,” Lee said in a February press release. “Successive presidents have claimed that power — and the politicians in Congress have been only too happy to give it away, in order to avoid tough votes. This resolution is a first step toward Congress re-asserting its power over foreign policy decision-making.”
